ORD228VL Series Reed Switch
The ORD228VL Series is a miniature, high-performance reed switch designed for general-purpose switching in compact electronic systems. With a glass body length of 14.0 mm and diameter of 2.2 mm, this SPST-NO (Form A) switch supports switching voltages up to 100 VDC/AC, currents up to 0.5 A, and a rated power of 10 W.
Its rhodium-plated contacts are hermetically sealed in a glass tube filled with inert gas, ensuring long-term reliability and resistance to environmental factors. The ORD228VL offers fast response times, low contact resistance, and high insulation resistance, making it ideal for precision applications across automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.
